This Week Golden 23 Goal 13,14,15 - Discussions and Predictions

been away for a while

just got to read the Golden 23,
many and many more players are being introduced..
now we r left with one more character from the RJ11..
it would be interesting to guess what the character's special ability is..

i wonder with this many talented ppl being introduced..
i guess some of the golden age will have to give way to these RJ11 and the Next age..the final list of 23 players is surely hard to guess now!

Yeah, in Brazil, they call it the Brasileiro Serie A.

I personally think it will be a high scoring game between Denmark and Japan to show how much other countries have developed whilst the others have been playing in matches. And since Japan wont have Hyuga for this match, Japan will have to rely on Nitta, Perhaps the Futsal Combi if they play upfront, Sorimachi if hes not converted, Sano and some other person. I hope to see development from Nitta though.

Goal 14: I love bubble-gum guy even more now. We have two funny, perverted forwards for Denmark. That's new and refreshing.

Matsuyama's the captain! Right! Even Tsubasa admitted that he should be in World Youth, so it was logical. I'm surprised to see characters like Nakanishi, Kishida and Taki instead of Yamada, Sakaki and Okano. I guess it's because readers prefer the old characters, but since they will most likely be bench warmers anyway, that wouldn't change anything for them and it'd have been more logical I think. And if readers prefer the old characters, it'd have been better to exclude the Futsal Combi >_>

Considering the list of players, the starting line up is getting pretty obvious and not so surprising, except for the Futsal combi. Disappointing.

Agree with everything Shinji said, particularly:

Good comic relief those two, but the interesting thing is, if you look at young football players with potential these days, they do bear a lot of similarities with the Denmark two top. You need to look no further that Cristiano Ronaldo's life outside of the field to see how a youngster with cash and fame turns into a cocky, metrosexual, media star with constant reminders in the papers of who he's dating and what cars or estates he's buying.

LOL at their coach exploding

Concerning the 23 selected, Shinji put it very well - no surprises, which is an unpleasant surprise. Most of the RJ7 were presented as classes above the former Nankatsu players and yet only Yumikura found a place in the selection. Just for comparison, Yamada stopped the Hayabusa Shoot a while ago, while the few times Morisaki faced it, he couldn't even react. And looking at the forwards makes me feel sorry for Japan ... Kisugi? Taki? When have they actually done something that matters since their Nankatsu days with Tsubasa? Not too sure Sorimachi is at international level either, but at least he got a bit of spotlight recently.

This does mean Nitta will be getting a lot of screen-time though As I had predicted before, I say he will score 1 or 2, one from the triple-Ms will score another and the futsal combi will score as well. So I can see this ending 3-1 or 4-1.
